10,000 Birds

This diversity makes for a very unique birding experience. Despite the eyesore that is this mine, the wildlife continues to thrive in this harsh environment. In addition to the hundred or so species of birds I regularly find here, there are Desert Foxes, Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Desert Bighorn Sheep and Mule Deer.

Growing up in central Oregon, allowed me to experience such a diverse amount of habitat, and the wildlife that resides there. Home to over 200 species, this amazing area is quite susceptible to the amount of rainfall each year. As you can see, this time of year, the mature rams are all off by themselves. I feel like I am home.

After a pleasant morning with ducks, crisp snow and sunshine, we followed the wildlife trail on our way out. My hosts could confidently tick off the species on their life list. We got at least three sub-species but the highlight was a Wilson’s Snipe we flushed. We were happy enough for we were getting reasonable views.
